SKY View -Reporting Manager: Enable features from Classic View: Grouping, subtotaling, filtered calculated columns, and formatting

SKY View -Reporting Manager - NOT HELPFUL-MOST FEATURES GONE!!

In Sky view reporting, most functionality has been removed. You can no longer create column fields based on criteria (i.e. total fields for all payments in 2021, etc), you cannot copy an existing report to start a new one, you can not group/sort/sub-total the same way, you cannot format. Basically the new reporting feature in Sky view is USELESS FOR CREATING MEANINGFUL NEW REPORTS. They took a functional reporting system and removed it without giving a new option - we are not getting what was promised in the new SKY View with relation to this function!!

    Is there an update on progress for these suggested re-introductions? They're not changes, as they were available in Classic View so I feel like this is a step backwards and is making me use Excel or other third party tools for our reporting.

    What is the status of the report manager features coming to Blackbaud SKY. I use the ad-hoc reports daily and I need the full features like within Classic. I need to sort/subtotal by fields, I need to do calculation on fields. Can Blackbaud please provide an update on this feature since it is getting close to the October 1 deadline and these features are needed!

    Thank you for submitting this idea. I hope it's ok that I've renamed the idea to clarify what changes were requested, so that others who see this idea can upvote. As time goes on we may separate some of these into separate ideas (i.e. if we deliver them a few at a time). We are reviewing all of the suggestions here and that we've heard in other channels and appreciate the feedback. We hope to have something to share soon with those of you who feel blocked from using SKY View by these features that aren't available there yet, so stay tuned!
